welovetrump--2020-06-10--Trump Stands Firm: President Pledges NO Defunding or Dismantling of Our Police!

MAGA supporters have come up with their own rallying cry of `` Defend the police ! ''
This will create a clear distinction between President Trump and the Republicans against the Democrat party .
Politico has more on MAGA nation 's new rallying cry : First , it was socialism .
Then it was antifa .
Now , with the latest protests sweeping the nation , President Donald Trump ’ s base has found its newest foil : the snowballing movement to drastically reduce the size and budgets of police departments to constrain discriminatory law enforcement practices .
The rallying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becoming the rallying cry of the right , energizing the MAGA movement to defend the police .
“ It seems to me that the goal there is to totally abolish the police department and replace it with something else , ” said Ryan Fournier , founder of Students for Trump .
“ I do n't know what 'something else ' is .
I do n't think we 've gone that far down that rabbit hole .
But I think it 's counterproductive.
” The backlash from the right comes even as many conservatives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans are disproportionately targeted by police .
A recent Washington Post-Schar School poll found that 53 percent of Republicans backed the protests , and 47 percent believed police killings of black men indicate broader problems , compared with 19 percent in 2014 .
But Trump ’ s die-hard conservative base is unnerved by what they view as an extreme solution from extreme leftists .
To them , addressing the problem by slashing resources to law enforcement is an attack on the central tenet of the Republican Party — law and order — and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a wedge issue to bolster his case for reelection in the coming months .
“ First of all , on some level , I think it 's perceived to be more of an empty slogan than a serious policy response , ” said Clark Neily , vice president for criminal justice at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute .
“ And second , it is indelibly associated with the left , which for many people is all they need to know about it in order to oppose it.
” Initially , conservatives across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dismissed the idea as an impossibility as slogans like “ Defund the Police ” and “ Abolish the Police ” first appeared on signs during Black Lives Matter protests .
The slogan morphed virtually overnight from liberal fever dream to tangible policy when the Minneapolis City Council voted overwhelmingly to disband the city ’ s police department and restructure its approach to public safety .
This will create quite the situation for Democrats in swing districts .
Will they support the radical idea to defund and abolish the police ?
Or will they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and order ?
As we have said many times before , the campaign for reelection has just gotten started .
Things will get much more interesting and favorable for President Trump !

DEFEND the POLICE!
Democrats scream "Defund the police!"
MAGA supporters have come up with their own rallying cry of "Defend the police!"
This will create a clear distinction between President Trump and the Republicans against the Democrat party.

welovetrump--2020-06-10--CNN Interview: Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender Says “Police Free Society” Is The Goal

Due to the `` leadership '' of Lisa Bender , the Minneapolis City Council voted in a veto-proof majority to disband the police force .
It is unclear what this actually means or if they will have the authority to get rid of their police department .
The Associated Press confirms that the majority of the city council supports disbanding the police force entirely : A majority of the members of the Minneapolis City Council said Sunday they support disbanding the city ’ s police department , an aggressive stance that comes just as the state has launched a civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death .
Nine of the council ’ s 12 members appeared with activists at a rally in a city park Sunday afternoon and vowed to end policing as the city currently knows it .
Council member Jeremiah Ellison promised that the council would “ dismantle ” the department .
“ It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe , ” Lisa Bender , the council president , said .
“ Our efforts at incremental reform have failed , period.
” Bender went on to say she and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rally are committed to ending the city ’ s relationship with the police force and “ to end policing as we know it and recreate systems that actually keep us safe.
” [ ... ] Community activists have criticized the Minneapolis department for years for what they say is a racist and brutal culture that resists change .
The state of Minnesota launched a civil rights investigation of the department last week , and the first concrete changes came Friday in a stipulated agreement in which the city agreed to ban chokeholds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remaking of the department is likely to unfold in coming months .
Disbanding an entire department has happened before .
In 2012 , with crime rampant in Camden , New Jersey , the city disbanded its police department and replaced it with a new force that covered Camden County .
Compton , California , took the same step in 2000 , shifting its policing to Los Angeles County .
It was a step that then-Attorney General Eric Holder said the Justice Department was considering for Ferguson , Missouri , after the death of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an agreement short of that but one that required massive reforms overseen by a court-appointed mediator .
This will create another clear differentiator between President Trump and the Democrats in November .
President Trump supports our troops .
He also supports law enforcement .
Trump has called for law and order .
Democrats , on the other hand , have supported lawlessness , rioting , and looting .
This November , the choice could n't be any clearer .

Bender attempted to defend her position.
Many critics have called her naive or uninformed of the actual issues.
Fox News has more details on Bender's proposals:
During the interview, Cuomo challenged Bender on the notion of getting rid of the police, something the host said “seems ridiculous to people”.
She replied: "We've looked at every reason that folks call 911. Why are people in Minneapolis calling for help? And we're starting to pair what's the right response to those calls. In the short term that helps our police officers focus on the work that they're trained to do, while we have a better response to people who have a mental health crisis or a physical health crisis.”
She added: "The system of policing isn't working for a lot of victims of crime. We have thousands of rape kits that have gone untested. We need to improve our response to all kinds of different violations of public safety, because again that trust in the system is so eroded that our community is across the board."
Earlier in the day, Bender made comments on CNN that were widely pilloried when she said that calling the police when your home is broken into “comes from a place of privilege.”
The calls to dismantle the police force in Minneapolis have rapidly escalated in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
Floyd, a handcuffed black man, died May 25 after a white police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air. His death set off protests, some violent, in Minneapolis that swiftly spread to cities around the U.S. and the globe.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has said he doesn’t support abolishing the city’s police force, despite a veto-proof majority of members of the city council pledging that they want to take that drastic step.

welovetrump--2020-06-10--BREAKING: George P. Bush to Endose President Trump, the “Only Thing Standing Between America and Soc

BREAKING: George P. Bush to Endose President Trump, the “Only Thing Standing Between America and Socialism”

George P Bush 's endorsement of President Trump is sending shockwaves through the D.C. establishment .
There was endless hype over a New York Times article listing prominent Republicans who wo n't support Trump 's reelection .
Among the list are Mitt Romney and George W. Bush : It was one thing in 2016 for top Republicans to take a stand against Donald J. Trump for president : He wasn ’ t likely to win anyway , the thinking went , and there was no ongoing conservative governing agenda that would be endangered .
The 2020 campaign is different : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party means putting policy priorities at risk , in this case appointing conservative judges , sustaining business-friendly regulations and cutting taxes — as well as incurring the volcanic wrath of Mr. Trump .
But , far sooner than they expected , growing numbers of prominent Republicans are debating how far to go in revealing that they won ’ t back his re-election — or might even vote for Joseph R. Biden Jr. , the presumptive Democratic nominee .
They ’ re feeling a fresh urgency because of Mr. Trump ’ s incendiary response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ atop his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic , according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private discussions .
Former President George W. Bush won ’ t support the re-election of Mr. Trump , and Jeb Bush isn ’ t sure how he ’ ll vote , say people familiar with their thinking .
Senator Mitt Romney of Utah won ’ t back Mr. Trump and is deliberating whether to again write in his wife , Ann , or cast another ballot this November .
Cindy McCain , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ almost certain to support Mr. Biden but is unsure how public to be about it because one of her sons is eying a run for office .
And former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced on Sunday that he will vote for Mr. Biden , telling CNN that Mr. Trump “ lies about things ” and Republicans in Congress won ’ t hold him accountable .
Mr. Powell , who voted for former President Barack Obama as well as Hillary Clinton , said he was close to Mr. Biden politically and socially and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 35 years .
“ I ’ ll be voting for him , ” he said .

George P. Bush is 100% correct!
Though Joe Biden is attempting to portray himself as a moderate, the reality is that the Democratic party has shifted further to the left than ever before.
President Trump, however, has fought to preserve liberty and individual rights!
The Hill confirms that the youngest Bush will be voting for Trump this November:
Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the nephew of former President George W. Bush, on Tuesday made clear that he will vote for President Trump in the 2020 election.
"Trump is the only thing standing between America and socialism,” George P. Bush said in a statement to The Dallas Morning News and The Texas Tribune.
“Even in a global pandemic where we have had to take unprecedented measures to protect public health, the economy is already returning,” he added. “It’s clear, America and Texas will continue to be stronger than ever.”
The comments from the younger Bush arrived just days after a New York Times report revealed that some prominent Republicans were struggling with whether to endorse Trump in the upcoming election. People familiar with George W. Bush’s thinking told the newspaper that he would not back the president’s reelection. Jeb Bush is unsure how he will vote come November, the Times reported.
Freddy Ford, the former president's spokesman, on Monday pushed back against the report in the Times, calling it “completely made up.”
“President Bush is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote,” Ford said.
Tensions between Trump and the Bush family have existed since the 2016 presidential campaign, when Jeb Bush vied for the Republican presidential nomination alongside Trump. Trump regularly disparaged him during the campaign, often referring to him as "low energy Jeb."
More recently, Trump targeted George W. Bush after the former president called on Americans to push partisanship aside amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Trump responded by calling out George W. Bush's failure to support him during the impeachment trial he faced earlier this year.
With national polling showing that Biden has gained a temporary edge, the Trump campaign is about to unleash its greatest weapon: Trump's signature MAGA campaign rallies.
We expect more high profile endorsements to be announced as these rallies are held across the nation.
Trump will bring his case for reelection straight to the American people!


welovetrump--2020-06-10--Cop Refuses to Kneel to Shouting Protesters

The New York Post shares a similar story of a black Georgia state trooper who told a crowd of protesters he only kneels for God : “ But looting and acting a fool if you think that ’ s justice please delete me even if we are close kin .
I have a beautiful family and enough close friends to keep on in life .
Floyd , a 46-year-old black man , died May 25 at the hands of a white cop , who kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes while three other officers stood by — a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sparked global outrage .
“ I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife .
I took off today , this weekend , but I ’ m out here to make sure y ’ all are safe .
The Black Lives Matter marchers were at a rally in Hartwell , northeast of Athens , on Sunday when they challenged the cop , who responded that he had postponed vacation to help try to keep the peace amid protests sparked by the police-brutality death of George Floyd in Minneapolis .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have enough on their plates !

The New York Post shares a similar story of a black Georgia state trooper who told a crowd of protesters he only kneels for God:
A black Georgia state trooper — confronted by protesters over why he wasn’t kneeling in solidarity with them at a weekend rally — said there’s only one person he takes a knee for. “God,” Officer O’Neal Saddler said in an exchange caught on video. The Black Lives Matter marchers were at a rally in Hartwell, northeast of Athens, on Sunday when they challenged the cop, who responded that he had postponed vacation to help try to keep the peace amid protests sparked by the police-brutality death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. “If I didn’t have any respect, I wouldn’t [be here],” Saddler told the protesters. “I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife. I took off today, this weekend, but I’m out here to make sure y’all are safe. “Don’t go there with respect, OK?” the state trooper added. “I have much respect, but I only kneel for one person.” When someone said, “And that’s God,” the officer nodded and responded, “God.” Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died May 25 at the hands of a white cop, who kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes while three other officers stood by — a shocking incident caught on video that has sparked global outrage. Sadler wrote on his Facebook page May 30, “People calling and texting about comments bout law enforcement last night. Let me be very clear. Protesting for right is always great and welcome. “But looting and acting a fool if you think that’s justice please delete me even if we are close kin. I have a beautiful family and enough close friends to keep on in life.
As if the police didn’t have enough on their plates!
Now they have to deal with heckling protesters and rioters.

But in the age of social media, viral photos and videos are quickly stripped of their context.

This just goes to show that these people will not be satisfied until they don't see a single blue uniform on the streets.


welovetrump--2020-06-11--Redskins Coach Throws Support Behind NFL Kneelers

CBS even reported that Roger Goodell himself may even participate in kneeling : We do not know , for certain , when football will return .
No one knows if Week 1 of the NFL season will take place as presently scheduled .
Will stadiums be empty ?
Will COVID-19 return for a second wave ?
Will the season conclude as normal , with a Super Bowl in February ?
What we do know is that at some point NFL players will stand on a sideline before the start of a weekend of games .
Nearly 100 of them will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Games will be played again , somehow , sometime , someway .
Eventually .
And when that occurs , players will kneel .
Based on what I am hearing from the player and agent community , I believe they will kneel en masse in a large-scale display of solidarity with those who continue to protest in the streets against police brutality and the systematic killing of people for the color of their skin .
So many NFL players and , now , even coaches and front office types are actively engaged in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world , walking and shouting for change , that there is a strong sense there is no going back now .
Following Roger Goodell 's statement late last week , when he read back what the faces of the league asked him to , in what many have perceived as a mea culpa for the NFL 's earlier statement in the aftermath of George Floyd 's killing by police in Minnesota , there does not seem to be much gray area or room to equivocate about the NFL 's official stance on police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Nor on Colin Kaepernick 's personal , silent , peaceful statement which started this all ( even though Goodell has yet to mention Kaepernick 's name in connection to it as protests sprung up around the world these last weeks ) .
Indeed , Goodell 's message , admitting the league was `` wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier '' and then encouraging `` all to speak out and peacefully protest , '' does n't appear to leave much wiggle room as to what will be condoned .
Shortly after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard back from some officials on Park Avenue who said that , yes , in fact , the NFL is out of the business of sanctioning or discouraging any player from taking a knee , just as players like Eric Reid and Kenny Stills did a season ago without penalty ( the fact that Reid remains unsigned is worth noting , of course , along with Kaepernick 's three-year banishment from the league ) .
When Goodell says , `` I personally protest with you and want to be a part of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I know some current and former players believe that to be a message of intent that Goodell would , in fact , be willing to take a knee in Week 1 , or whenever the commissioner is able to travel to games as he normally would and whenever there are anthems being played again .
Sources who were involved in various online calls between Goodell and league employees tell me that the commissioner capitulated on virtually everything he was asked to do by them , and understood what needed to be done at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing he fell short on was signing Kap , '' said one person involved in a large-scale call .

Everyone worried about the effect of COVID on football.
But it looks like good old-fashioned politics will be the death of the NFL.
Recently, the NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, came out in a complete 180 and announced the NFL was wrong to discourage players from kneeling.
He even went so far as to encourage players to peacefully protest.
Now, Coach Ron Rivera of the Washington Redskins is following suit. He’s announced that he fully supports players that choose to kneel during the national anthem.
Here’s the full story from Fox News:
Washington Redskins head coach Ron Rivera has made it known that he sides with his players. Rivera, who will enter his first year as the man in charge in Washington, said that he will support his players who decide to kneel for the national anthem this upcoming season. He already confirmed his stance on George Floyd’s death on May 25 while in the custody of Minneapolis police, and the ensuing nationwide protests, by telling NBC Sports, “We cannot be afraid to say it so I will say it again, Black Lives do matter.” Future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson, who is currently on the Redskins’ roster, said that he will kneel during the national anthem this season, according to the Houston Chronicle. “Years ago, seeing (Colin) Kaepernick taking a knee, now we’re all ready to take a knee together going into this season without a doubt,” Peterson said.
Will anyone even be watching football after all of this?
They had it right the first time when they mandated that players stand for the national anthem.
It’s a shame to see the NFL, a once great American organization, cower in the face of Black Lives Matter.

Ex-Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino Testifies Before Congress: Defunding Police Would Be “Chaos and Destruction”

It ’ s absolutely mind-blowing that Congress is having to hold hearings on defunding police departments .
What do liberals envision a world without police officers would look like ?
These are the same people that would see you stripped of your gun rights .
No guns to protect you and your family and no police to call .
Fortunately , ex-Secret Service agent Dan Bongino had some wise words for Congress .
He said defunding the police would only bring “ chaos and destruction ” to the country .
Here ’ s the details on his testimony from Fox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bongino testified Wednesday before a House Judiciary Committee hearing on police reform , arguing that while it is important to hold police officers accountable for their actions , defunding police departments will result in “ chaos and destruction.
” Bongino , a conservative commentator and Fox News contributor , recognized that there are officers out there who “ aren ’ t suited for the job , ” and said he prays for “ justice ” for George Floyd ’ s family .
Floyd ’ s brother testified earlier Wednesday , recalling in vivid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while a white officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes , in an incident that touched off protests , civil unrest and calls for reform .
But Bongino insisted that most cops he knows are “ heroes ” who are committed to public safety , and warned that they – and the communities they serve – will suffer if the recent movement to defund police departments is successful .
“ Removing these heroes from your communities and my community will do nothing but ensure chaos and destruction , ” Bongino said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officers are the front lines , putting themselves between the evildoers among us and the honest , hardworking Americans just yearning for some security and prosperity in a small slice of Americana.
” The movement to defund , or in some cases disband , police has seen support from Democrats including Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar , who hails from the state where Floyd died .
Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender told CNN Monday that “ the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational.
” Bongino said that Americans “ should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that “ we can do it without shredding the thin wall between civilization and chaos.
” He went on to discuss how he regularly learns about officers who have been killed or injured and warned that other people could find themselves in harm ’ s way if departments are defunded .
“ I ask you please , with the greatest of respect and humility , please stop this defund the police abomination before someone gets hurt , ” he said .
Another issue discussed at the hearing was qualified immunity for police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ degree of protection from litigation related to their activities on the job .
Bongino agreed with Democrats who feel that there are problems with qualified immunity , but warned that doing away with it entirely would present other problems .
“ Listen I get it , there are serious issues with qualified immunity , ” Bongino said .
“ There ’ s no question about that .
We ’ re in full agreement .
The problem is if you were to repeal qualified immunity , have you considered the ‘ and then what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police officers are open to more lawsuits , legal bills — even for good cops — could be “ so oppressive that you won ’ t have police officers.
” He also warned that cops , out of fear of litigation , could be “ afraid in the street to go and do their jobs and be proactive in communities that need it most.

Bongino hit it spot on.
Liberals would see our men and women in blue uniforms defunded and stripped of all protections.

welovetrump--2020-06-11--View Co-Host Sunny Hostin: Colin Kaepernick “Owed Back Pay…Deserves Nobel Peace Prize”

The constant virtue-signaling from the left is getting exhausting .
They idolize the completely wrong values and people .
Take Colin Kaepernick for example .
On Tuesday ’ s episode of The View , co-host Whoopi Goldberg questioned her fellow co-host Sunny Hostin as to whether Kaepernick deserved an apology from the NFL .
Hostin one-upped Goldberg and exclaimed that Kaepernick deserved back pay , a job , and a Nobel Peace Prize .
Is there anything we shouldn ’ t just hand over to Kaepernick ?
Here ’ s details from the Washington Examiner on the exchange : Co-host @ @ @ @ @ @ @ San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick should be given a Nobel Peace Prize for kneeling during the national anthem .
Whoopi Goldberg asked Hostin during Tuesday ’ s episode if Kaepernick was owed an apology after he failed to secure a spot on a team following his demonstrations against police violence by kneeling during the anthem .
Hostin responded he should be awarded a global peace prize .
“ I think he ’ s not only owed an apology , Whoopi .
I think he ’ s owed his job .
I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And I think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize , ” Hostin said , invoking a peace award given to civil rights era icon Martin Luther King Jr. , former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger , Catholic saint Mother Theresa , and Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel .
Hostin then chided National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell for not mentioning Kaepernick by name during a video statement , apologizing for the league ’ s position opposing players kneeling during the national anthem .
“ I think it ’ s shameful that people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement and make it about the flag and make it something that it was never about .
It really just is shameful .
I ’ m sort of shocked that Roger Goodell never mentioned his name , ” she said , insisting protests were “ never about the flag.
” Protests during football games first began after Kaepernick sat during the national anthem in 2016 to protest police brutality .
“ I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Media in 2016 .
“ To me , this is bigger than football , and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way.
” To say that Kapernick deserves the Nobel Peace Prize is an insult to anyone who has ever received the award .

welovetrump--2020-06-11--Minneapolis Police Chief Blasts Calls to Defund the Police

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo slammed calls to defund the police in an energetic press conference on Wednesday .
When asked about the Minneapolis Town Council ’ s statements on police funding in recent days , the Chief did not hold back , according to Fox News : “ As chief I am obligated to [ ensure ] the public safety of our residents , ” Arradondo said .
“ I will not abandon that.
” He went on to note that elected officials “ certainly can engage in those conversations , ” but said that “ until there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ residents of Minneapolis , “ I will not leave them behind.
” Instead of criticizing his officers or bowing to the insanity that defunding a police department would require , Arradondo stood firm in his beliefs .
He chose to highlight positive reforms to his police department .
The New York Times reports : Faced with calls from activists and a majority of City Council members to dismantle or defund the department , Arradondo also said he would use a new system to identify problem officers early and intervene .
“ We will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ view as legitimate , trusting and working with their best interests at heart , ” he said at a news conference [ Wednesday ] .
Arradondo delved into a closer look at those reforms during his press conference , commenting briefly on his positive changes to the Minneapolis PD and the broader problems of race .
He also chose to highlight specific changes as a result of the George Floyd incident , as per Fox News : Arradondo outlined the “ significant ” reforms he is working to establish within the department , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the role of supervisors and the discipline process “ to include both grievances and arbitration.

“ We will never evolve in this profession if we do not address it head on.

The HBO Max streaming service has temporarily pulled the classic 1939 movie "Gone with the Wind" for its depiction of slavery and the antebellum South, while the shows "Cops" and "Live PD" have been canceled by Paramount Network and A&E, respectively. Actress Hattie McDaniel, who became the first black woman to win an Oscar for her portrayal of Mammy in "Gone with the Wind," is also in "Song of the South" as a housekeeper named Aunt Tempy.
Monuments to Confederate figures as well as Christopher Columbus have also been torn down or removed by officials in multiple cities during the ongoing protests.
Splash Mountain was first opened in 1989 at Disneyland with the theme of "Song of the South," a live action/animation hybrid film that is set in the Reconstruction era after the Civil War and the abolition of slavery.
"Song of the South" was re-released in theaters 1986 but is not part of the deep vault of Disney films on its Disney+ streaming service. The company did not respond to TODAY’s request for comment for this story.
Former Disney CEO Bob Iger said at the company's annual shareholder meeting in March that it was not included on Disney+ due to its "outdated cultural depictions."
The movie has been criticized by the NAACP for perpetuating "a dangerously glorified picture of slavery" and has been panned by movie critics for its depiction of the antebellum South.
"Song of the South" is narrated by Uncle Remus, a plantation worker considered by many critics to be a racist stereotype. He tells stories about the adventures of animals like Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox to a young white boy living on the plantation.
The Splash Mountain ride makes no mention of Uncle Remus but features the story of Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox as well as the famous song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."
Disneyland cast member Frederick Chambers gave a detailed explanation in a Twitter thread about how he would re-theme the ride into "The Princess and the Frog" from "Song of the South."


welovetrump--2020-06-11--Kayleigh McEnany: If It’s Safe Enough to Protest, It’s Safe Enough to Vote In Person

McEnany 's comments come just hours after Biden claimed that Trump will try to `` steal the election . ''
After 3 years of investigating Russia , there was never any evidence of alleged Trump-Russia collusion .
Yet Biden is pushing this narrative 5 months before a single ballot is cast .
Furthermore , in-person voting with voter ID would MINIMIZE the risk of any voter fraud .
Compare this to mail-in ballots or ballot harvesting , which have inherent security risks .
Former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden issued a stark warning to voters about President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limit access to voting in November .
“ This president 's going to try to steal this election , ” Biden said in an interview with `` The Daily Show with Trevor Noah '' Wednesday night .
The comments came after the host asked Biden about the recent Georgia primary election which resulted in long lines for voters after issues with both in-person voting and vote by mail requests .
Biden said access to voting was his “ single greatest concern , ” and was critical of Trump ’ s efforts to discredit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ method of voting the president himself had used .
“ This is a guy who said that all mail-in ballots are fraudulent , voting by mail , while he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office and writes his mail-in ballot to vote in the primary , ” Biden said .
While Biden had previously suggested Trump might attempt to delay the general election , the comments from Biden articulate the most direct warning from the former vice president as the campaign continues to ramp up ahead of November .
The Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ host that he is “ absolutely convinced ” that the military will `` escort '' President Trump from the White House if he refuses to leave , alluding to the recent scathing criticism of the commander-in-chief from top former military officials like former Defense Secretary James Mattis and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly .
“ You have four chiefs of staff coming out and ripping the skin off of Trump , and so many rank-and-file military personnel saying , ‘ Whoa , we 're not a military state .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promise you , I 'm absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch , ” Biden said .
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany dismissed Biden ’ s comments that President Trump would have to be escorted from the White House if he loses in November .
“ I think that 's a ridiculous proposition .
This president is looking forward to November , this president is hard at work for the American people .
Leave it to Democrats to go out there and grandstand and level these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News Thursday morning .
The American people do not appreciate conspiracy theories .
They want the truth .
They want facts .
Biden 's comments and accusations will not be accepted by voters .
Trump has an incredibly strong record to run on and will continue to remind voters that he has kept every promise and will keep them again !

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany reassured voters that they should not be worried about exercising their right to vote in the November elections.
Though Democrats have proposed mail-in voting, there have been legitimate fears that it could lead to ballot harvesting.
There are many examples of ballot harvesting being linked to increased voter fraud.
"I think there's a way to safely vote if you can safely protest," McEnany told reporters.
Indeed, after George Floyd's death, there have been countless protests across the nation.
We've all seen images of tens of thousands of protesters marching in the streets, shoulder to shoulder.
The reality is that with mitigation and proper protocols, we can ensure a safe election for everyone without jeopardizing the integrity of the results.
Watch McEnany's spot-on comments below:

Liberal Hollywood and members of the mainstream media praised the move by NASCAR to ban the confederate flag from all racetracks and events .
However , there has been some fallout and backlash .
The Associated Press reports that the `` tricky part '' for NASCAR is yet to come : NASCAR ’ s decision to ban the Confederate flag from its races and venues grabbed headlines and stars like actress Reese Witherspoon and New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara were quick to praise the stock car series for ridding itself of a symbol long associated with slavery and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

The enforcement question is much more likely to be an issue when the series holds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where up to 5,000 fans are expected to be allowed in .

There is a lot of chatter of the possibility of Texas turning blue .
But radical statements by Democrats , including Olson , could potentially spark a backlash and alienate Texan voters .
A leading Democratic candidate in a closely watched House race brushed off looting and arson that occurred during nationwide unrest during protests about racism and police brutality sparked by the death of George Floyd .
“ What the hell you got snipers on the roof for in a peaceful march ?

Olson started by saying that while `` defunding '' is a `` tough word , '' explaining that she supports prioritizing funding services such as rehab centers and social workers .
“ You ca n't just tackle the police , you 've got to tackle some of the social injustice issues that are going on within our justice system , ” Olson said .
“ You ca n't train racism out of folks.

welovetrump--2020-06-11--BLM Breaks Into Seattle City Hall: Demands Include Abolish Police, Eliminate Police Pensions, Abolis

BLM Breaks Into Seattle City Hall: Demands Include Abolish Police, Eliminate Police Pensions, Abolish Youth Jails, Etc.

Even though Seattle is already extremely far-left , the radicals there want to go even further .
As protesters around the country demand that cities defund their police departments , one group of demonstrators in Seattle is out to prove they don ’ t need the law enforcement officers .
On Tuesday night , protesters from what is now known as the “ Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone ” ( CHAZ ) were joined by other demonstrators as they briefly occupied Seattle 's City Hall .
Speakers called for the resignation of Mayor Jenny Durkan and the defunding of the Seattle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1 a.m. , chanting `` defund SPD '' as they returned to the zone .
Located in the Capitol Hill district , the `` Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone '' surrounds the Seattle Police Department 's East Precinct .
Police opened the area to demonstrators on June 8 after closing the streets in response to protesters demonstrating against police violence after the death of George Floyd .
The East Precinct remains staffed , but Assistant Chief Tom Mahaffey said in a statement they were taking measures for the safety of officers and the building @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this is exactly what happens .
Strong leadership is needed now more than ever .
This is exactly why we need 4 more years of President Trump .
The lawlessness in Seattle and Minneapolis can not be allowed to spread across the nation !

While Black Lives Matter protests and riots have largely calmed down across the nation, the situation has gotten worse in Seattle.
Crowds broke into the Seattle City Hall.
The protesters called this operation "Free City Hall."
They are currently occupying the City Hall and have declared it a police-free zone.

welovetrump--2020-06-11--VIDEO: NYC Protester Rages “Our Ancestors Built This Land… If I Want to Burn It, I Will”

What this protester does n't understand is that ALL of our ancestors built this great country .
Many of them fought in world wars to defend this country and everything it stands for .
Countless veterans have fought for liberty and her right to free speech .
Yet , these protesters want to `` rebuild '' America , a Vox article suggests : The nationwide protests over George Floyd ’ s death , police brutality , and systemic racism have made an immediate impact .
Minneapolis announced on June 7 that it will dismantle its police force and rebuild law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ departments in cities ranging from Lincoln , Nebraska , to Denver , Colorado , have reached agreements with their communities to improve accountability for their law enforcement officers .
Beyond these policy changes are broad culture shifts .
Across the South , cities have brought down Confederate monuments and removed other homages to former slaveowners — accelerating a process that began with the Charleston , South Carolina , church shooting in 2015 .
Meanwhile , polling shows a sudden , seismic shift in public opinion : 57 percent of Americans and 49 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are more likely to use excessive force against African Americans .
In 2014 , after Eric Garner died in police custody , only 33 percent of Americans and 26 percent of white respondents said so .
More than two-thirds of Americans believe that Floyd ’ s killing indicated broader issues in the way police treat black Americans , rather than just an isolated incident .
By a two-to-one margin , voters are also more concerned by the actions of police in relation to Floyd ’ s killing than they are about violent protesters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and large , been peaceful . )
And lawmakers at both the state and federal level are working on reform legislation .
Democrats in Congress unveiled a sweeping police reform bill that would make lynching a federal crime , ban chokeholds , make it easier to charge officers with using excessive force , and curtail “ qualified immunity ” for those involved in wrongful injuries or deaths .
Activists have introduced detailed plans for meaningful police reform .
Some have endorsed the 8 Can ’ t Wait reform platform , which includes remedies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protocols for use-of-force incidents , and mandating that police intervene when they witness misconduct .
Others have called for even more radical measures : defunding or abolishing the police .
This November , the choice could n't be clearer .
President Trump stands for law and order that protects ALL American citizens .
The Democratic party , on the other hand , wants to destroy our great institutions so that they can `` rebuild '' them .
The choice is yours .

A NYC protester caught on video has gone viral for her disturbing comments, which were cheered by the crowd.
In the video, the masked protester can be heard screaming:
Our ancestors built this land. And if I want to protest on it, I will. If I want to burn it, I will. And last thing, if I want to burn this motherf*cker to the ground, I will.
The scariest part?
There were no boos or jeers from the crowd.
Her yelling was met with cheers and approval from those in attendance.
Is this what pundits in the media call a peaceful protest? Sure, they're not currently rioting or looting, but it sounds like a call-to-arms or a defense of violence.
